SM64SR-# | Super mario star road - Top of the Risky Walkway (0x A presses) @SR-1 | Uploaded October 2023 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
I collect "Top of the Risky Walkway" in 0x A presses. This is a TAS

Massive shoutout to Zerolin (@ZerolinGD) for TASing the ending part with the Scuttlebug knockback bounce into 207 DR into SDC.

This was previously done in 1x A press by Alexplalix1: youtu.be/A7jRDUy4yOY?si=oWZQ8gWm3JzDGzze

Since then, an idea was brought back to the table that was suggested all the way back in 2017 by Adeal (@adealtas) which is to lure the Scuttlebug to the big structure, bounce on him to reach the first step and have one of it's coins reach the second step, Do a 207 DR to reach the second step by yourself, collect the Scuttlebug's coins as your 100th coin and do a SDC to reach the third step from where you could then collect the star. At the time it wasn't even possible to collect 100 coins in Gloomy Garden 0xA so the idea was concluded impossible. It wasn't until recently that multiple people, including myself, started to look into this strat again and found out that it might actually just barely work. There were only 2 problematic parts which were to figure out a way to actually make the Scuttlebug's coin reach the second step, which was solved by Marbler (@supermarble94) using a Scuttlebug knockback bounce and the second problem which was solved by myself while making this TAS. You see, while it was proven by lemon (@lemon9bug) that 100 coins were obtainable 0xA we could actually only get 99 coins using this strat. One blue coin from the boo that we use to reach the star platform couldn't be collected since killing him meant that we can't reach the star platform anymore, and also one Scuttlebug coin couldn't be collected since it was at most possible to get two Scuttlebug coins to the second step but not all three. After I showed that it was possible to reach the big wall with boo bounce chains one more blue coin could be collected from a Bookend which would mean we could get 99 in total. I then realized that it's probably possible to reach the blue coin block located on the wall with Boo bounce chains as well so without further testing it I just started the TAS, and after some failed attempts I found the solution you see in this video. The rest of the TAS is pretty trivial, however I couldn't get the ending part to work so Zerolin (@ZerolinGD) took over and TASed that part for me.

This reduces the total 130 star A press count from 63 to 62
